I don't agree with man-spreading due to the facts of how men's legs and that *area* works
Mansplaining is a bit different due to it being a woman being talked down by a man and I believe that is a real problem
I agree that it is a problem but its directed to men but women also do that
Huh.
It's not the same thing
My personal issue with “mansplaining” is that it can literally be applied to any situation regardless of intent.
Women having a place to actually speak or speaking before a man isn't the same as a man talking *down* to a woman
Or talking over/dismissing them simply for being a woman while they are speaking
That’s just being a dick, though.
🤔
Mansplaining
"mansplaining" can be applied to both genders
I mean, from my perspective, I suppose.
not just man
Again it isn't the same thing
By definition, “mansplaining” only applies to men, Alexandre.
yeah ik
but why does it have man in it
It’s in the term “man” which then has “splaining” tacked onto it.
If you are saying both women and men can explain to each other well duh yeah
that has the same definition as mansplaining
Hmm nope
so its only directed to men
and they are the only gender that talks over a women
I don’t agree with the concept of “mansplaining” due to how easily it can be applied to any situation. “Mansplaining” inherently assumes a man’s intentions as being negative or sexist. That leads to the issue of potentially demonizing men. The most ironic case is when a man talks down to a woman, and then another man comes to the woman’s defense. The defending man has good intentions, but since he is talking for the woman and “mansplaining” to protect her, he is therefore somehow also bad, even if he knows he has more experience dealing with the aggressor and knows how to talk to him. Things like that are my issue with the concept.
Jesus, I made that long
lol
I agree
Just don't explain for women
Problem solved
yeah but women also explain over men
Smh
and feminists are only directing it to men
Because that is what men do
Kek
wtf
so every men does that
and no women
Looking down at the other sex or simply dismissive due to the fact of them being female
You just found the issue I have with this, Alexander, as proven by Soldz’ comment.
